	Plant list: Autumn foliage They’ve put so much effort into growing leaves only to drop them all come the autumn, but some deciduous plants really do go out in a blaze of glory.
	Acer palmatum Japanese maple Tree Hardy N/A Green or red 6m x 6m (20ft x 20ft) Japanese maples prefer slightly acid soil, and need a sheltered spot out of the wind. They are grown for their very attractive leaves, that turn spectacular colours in the autumn – red, yellow, orange, depending on type.
